The superiority of injectable to topical testosterone.

An article by Daniel Gwartney,M.D. on the safest way for men to use HRT Testosterone.It turns out that injections are best.The skin gels that are being promoted by pharmaceutical companies are higher risk,and not as effective.And of course all oral AAS can cause liver stress.
It's understandable why people don't want to inject drugs.It's painful,and anxiety provoking.Needles carry a significant stigma,and can transmit disease when used improperly.But under the administration of a competent physician it would be the best way to use AAS for therapy.
It's just sad to see the impact of the irrational criminalization of AAS making it harder for people to use these drugs more safely.

Injectable testosterone is safer than topical

Monica Mollica on Hormone Therapy for Women

Monica Mollica has also written on hormone therapy for women.Which is great because there isn't much coverage of the issues involving women's hormone usage in the Bodybuilding media.There is some coverage of Women's use of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids ( AAS ) for muscle building.But not comprehensive writing on the whole picture of Estrogen,Progesterone,and Testosterone in women,and HRT treatment in mature women.Mollica has made a point of addressing these issues.
She provided some links to articles she has written for a company "Ageless Forever" that specializes in Anti-Aging.It's a commercial site,and is clearly promoting the companies business.So I would take that into account on a site providing medical information.But it's still interesting.

This is a really interesting article on the use of DHEA by Women.It may help provide relief from menopausal symptoms,and help mature women retain some vitality as they age.It discusses DHEA vs traditional HRT,and dosing considerations.

Monica Mollica on Testosterone deficiency and treatment in Men

Monica Mollica has posted an interesting article on Will Brink's site about a consensus conference held in late 2015 to address issues relating to treating men with testosterone deficiency.This is mostly about older men,and not those using testosterone for performance enhancement in athletics.
It supports the conclusion that testosterone can be used safely,and does have genuine health benefits
Mollica has been doing some really good work in bringing the scientific evidence about testosterone usage to the public.This is not Bro,or Sis science.
